A Visionary with Credibility

We are renowned
for leveraging
state of the art
people
and solutions
with audacious flair
in East Anglia
where we're a major player
supplying workers
and bricks
and spades
to the building trade.

Here's the deal.

All on our own
we've just developed
brick-a-block,
an innovative
preformed
structural
walling system.

It's an exciting alternative
to conventional
blockwork construction.

So we're a business
poised for growth
for which you'll be
the catalyst
and strategist
because you command
instant respect,
your inspired
interpersonal skills
perhaps acquired
as leader of
a religious sect.

In a previous life
you might have
brought your people
to the Promised Land
or drawn a line
in the sand
and made speeches
about fighting them
on the beaches
or perhaps
you conquered Gaul
or even better
built a Great Wall.

So please apply.

Because we need you
to tell us
what the hell
we ought to do.
